Linux - What version/distribution is bes

Mandrake is a spinoff of RH 6.0 and takes RH to a new and higher level.

Suse 6.4 comes with tons of info and programs.....6 disks of programs and information!

Turbolinux is something that seemed to install easier than the two I mentioned above.

Askin what flavor of Linux someone recommends is a question that usually starts heated debates. Remember, if you like 2 or 3 flavors, you can run them all on your system! Distributions nowdays also are more compatible with each other and are easier to share programs between themselves than a few years ago. That means you can select one version of Linux and share programs with other versions without hassle.

First you need to decide what you will do:- if you wana have Linux OS at home, you have modem conection I think the best - RedHat6.2 or Mandrake 7.1 - if you wana have Linux OS anywhere at work and wana configure it like web/ftp/mail server or firewall I think you need Slackware 7.0 (I think Slack is very friendly for server).

I would go to Cheapbytes.com or the Linuxmall.com and get one of the packages of 6 different distributions and try them. I tried Redhat , Mandrake, Storm and CalderaPlay with each until you find the one you like. It's all personal preference.
